The invention provides a biological preparation method of gamma-
aminobutyric acid, which comprises the following steps of: 1) preparing
glutamic acid decarboxylase
whole cell thallus by using an E. coli
engineering strain capable of expressing
glutamic acid decarboxylase; 2) using
monosodium glutamate and concentrated
hydrochloric acid to prepare L-
glutamic acid; 3) dissolving L-glutamic acid as asubstrate in water, adding glutamic acid decarboxylase
whole cell thallus and
pyridoxal phosphate, stirring and reacting to obtain gamma-
aminobutyric acid. The method uses water to replace buffer
salt solution to form a water-
phase reaction system, uses
monosodium glutamate to replace high-purity glutamic acid, so that the purity of the gamma-
aminobutyric acid is up to 97.7 percent, and the costof raw materials is reduced; whole cells used for
catalysis can be produced in a large scale by microbial
fermentation, the cost is low, and the source is wide; the biological
enzyme-promoted catalytic reaction is a water-
phase reaction, the enzymatic conversion condition is mild, the
raw material conversion is thorough, the post-treatment is simple, the product is separated by adopting a method of
evaporation concentration and natural
crystallization, the cost is low, the process is environment-friendly, and the method is suitable for industrial production of gamma-aminobutyric acid.
